Description of the Job
Full Interior Remodeling, using plans approved by Miami-Dade District. The contract signed in 2022 for 170K plus 65 K in materials bought through this Contractor ( High Impact windows, Interior Doors, Granites,Floor tiles, Beams) , and project duration of 4-5 months.
We hired our own Architect, Roofer, Foam Insulation and Exterior pavers. All excellent Contractors and decent people, which was not the case with ICE / Geisy Valdez.
The Full Project completed in 19 months with many quality issues , excessive time related mostly to this sub-standard contractor, and Labor provided 1-2 days a week, and Extra cost amounting to more of 100k.
The quality of the work is low, in particular the Plastering, Flooring and Plumbing.
I will have to redo 200 sqft of flooring due to cracks, deffective mortar, and unlevel floor in the Family area which present a safety issue to us as senior people, and repair issues with the plumbing.
During the Punch list stage the Contractor only recognized 500 dollars for the flooring issue.
Although the job has guarantee the Contractor does not respond to our requests.
Desired Outcome
Refund $ 5,000 for the additional work we need to do in re-flooring and fixing plumbing
Problem with service. Amount of contract changed from $22,000 to $31,140.55.
I contacted *** from Intercontinental Contracting Service to fix my home. She charged me $22,000 . She sent me an email an estimate for the the $22,000 and I signed a contract for the same amount. She came to my house to sign the contract there was a lot of papers on the table and she took both contacts home. She said she will mailed everything to my mortgage company she is being doing that for over 20 years. She changed the amount from $22,000 to 31,140.55 which is the full amount of the insurance claim. When I confronted her why she sent a different amount the my mortgage company she said she did that because if not they will put the remaining balance to an escrow account which is not true. At the beginning the mortgage company told me they will send me a check for the remaining balance. *** sent some prepaid envelopes to the mortgage company in order to receive the checks directly to her office. My mortgage company sent her a check on April 29, 2009 for 12k the check was payable to me but she went to her bank and cashed it without me endorsing it. The mortgage company sent another check for 6k on May 1st, 2019 to her office payable to her company she cashed it. She started the job on June 12th because I was working and gave her over a month to start while she already cashed $19,030.07 out of the $22,000. On June 5th the mortgage company sent the last check of $12,110.48 she took it she gave me a check for $9,140.55 she took the check back she said the account was closed a day after. The company only replaced my AC, paint the house (the interior only) replace 3 toilets, install a vanity chest and light. They have to redo my kitchen, replace all the carpet with hard floors and add a chandelier to my dining room. She cashed on the money $31,140.55 without finishing the job and I have been contacting her and she doesn't respond.
I want *** to give me the balance of $9,140.55 and give me money to hire another company to finish the job because I don't trust her she lied too much. She is not trustworthy.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Ms *** came to my house on April 18, 2019 to sign a contract for $22,000. She took all the papers and including 2 checks that I received from the insurance company. If I sign a contract for 31,140.55 on April 18 why she gave me a check that I already sent a copy to Revdex.com for the amount of 9,140.55. She took both copies of the contracts of $22,000.00 to her office and sent another one for $31,140.55 for the full amount to the insurance claim.
I NEVER SIGNED A CONTRACT FOR $31,140.55. THE CONTRACTOR GAVE ME A CONTACT FOR $22,000. SHE TOOK ALL THE PAPERS TO HER OFFICE AND CHANGE THE 3RD PAGE OF THE CONTRACT THAT HAS THE PRICE. I AM NOT AWARE OF THE SECOND CONTACT THAT SHE SENT TO THE MORTGAGE COMPANY.
Document Attached***
I have provided already with enough and legitimate information and proof regarding this case; I cannot continue this back and forth with this client; attached also find the Original Building application signed by *** and also a Copy of the Permit issued by Miami Dade County for the replacement of the Air Conditioning for the amount of $9140.00 Dollars.
I paid $55,500 to this general contractor to perform work on my newly purchased home. They did NO work and avoided my calls for four(4) years.
Ms. ***, acting president of
Intercontinental Contracting and Engineering
("ICE") Corp., a Fla. Corp., told me that
ICE uses Mr. *** as its
General Contractor. She solicited me to
contract ICE to
remodel my recently purchased home.
*** is a licensed General
Contractor with the Florida Department of
Business and Professional Regulation(Lic.
#XXXXXXX).
On or about November 06, 2015, Ms.
and Mr. entered into a binding oral
agreement for certain construction services
to be rendered to my home located at ***
*** in unincorporated Miami-
Dade County.
I wired a sum of $50,000 to ICE Corp. for said
services.
On November 15, 2015, ***/***
presented me with a written contract and
invoice for $70,000 describing all permitting,
construction, electrical, plumbing and other
services to be performed by them. I
authorized ***/*** to pay all fines,
pull all permits, and then buy all necessary
materials to begin work on my house with
the money already in their account.
*** acknowledged receipt of the $50,000
wire transfer to their business on November
6th, 2015.
At that time and as of this complaint, *** is
President of ICE Corp. and *** is the
registered agent of ICE Corp.
On or about September 15th, 2016, more than
ten months after ***/*** had
received a $50,000 deposit from me, I was
notified by Miami-Dade County that my
property remained in violation of the building
code because no permits had been pulled by
Mr. as had been promised.
When I was able to reach them, ***/***
informed me that the septic tank needed to
be replaced in order to advance the
renovation project and get the permits. I
forwarded them a $5,500 check that was
accepted and deposited. No work was ever
done to fix, much less replace, my house's
septic tank. Another fraud.
On September 16, 2016, I paid a $150 fee to
the County for a first extension on the code
violations that ***/*** had failed to
remove. I continue to pay extensions to this
day, nearly 4 years later.
On March 10, 2017, a County official
informed me that no work had been done by
the ***/*** team in the County to
correct the code violations 16 months after
payment!
On or about April 24th, 2017, more than 17
months later, I received a letter from
***/*** counsel informing me that
they could not work on the house for the
originally agreed-upon $70,000.
***/***'s counsel presented two
options: I could simply forfeit my $50,000
deposit and sign a release of obligations for
them. Or sign a new contract for additional
money to work on the project. Another
attempt at theft.
On or about August 26, 2017, after not
hearing from them or their counsel, I
reported the incident to The Florida
Department of Business and Professional
Regulation and to the Miami-Dade County
Police Department.
Section 812.014, Florida Statutes (XXXX)
provides:
A person commits theft if he or she
knowingly obtains or uses, or endeavors to
obtain or to use, the property of another with
intent to, either temporarily or permanently:
(a) Deprive the other person of a right to the
property or a benefit from the property.
(b) Appropriate the property to his or her
own use or to the use of any person not
entitled to the use of the property.
***/*** knowingly accepted and
used, or endeavored to obtain my money
with felonious intent. .
The facts also support violation of Florida
criminal statutes.
I presented ***/*** with a formal,
written demand pursuant to Fla. Stat. §
772.11 for the prompt return of my property,
or payment of the full value of my deposit.
As of the date of this filing, ***/***
have not returned any of my money.
I want my $55,500 back and reimbursement of another $10,000 of documented fines, fees and costs as a result of their dishonesty.
Dear Revdex.com: I am writing to update you on recent events in the civil court case against Intercontinental Contracting and Engineering Corp. (ICE Corp.), located in Miami, Florida.

to me
Just to verify, the issue has been resolved.
On August 17, 2017, I entered into a contract with Intercontinental Contracting and Eng. Corp to redo my flat roof and add terrace cover. Before we signed the contract, We negotiated a fee of $3500 for architectural drawings/plans that also included my porch conversion. This fact is indicated in the contract. The total amount for the drawings and the actual work for the roof/patio as stated in the contract was to be $18,500; $15,000 for roof/patio cover work plus $3500 for drawings/plans. I have text messages attesting to that fact. I decided that since it had been over 7 months since we signed the contract; the contractor has my deposit, and I have nothing , it's in both parties interest to let the contract go. When I spoke with the contractor, *** today, she told that she is charging me $6000.00 of the $9250.00 deposit for drawings because I had made changes to the design. I never agreed to pay that amount. She told me she'd let me know of any extra charges. I never received such information from her.
Product_Or_Service: Architectural drawings/plans
Refund I believe it fair that Intercontinental Contracting deduct the agreed upon $3500 architect fee plus a $1000.00 retainer fee from my $9250.00 deposit and refund me the amount of $4750 and turn the original plans/drawing indicated in the contract over to me. I hope to be able to resolve this amicably so we can both move on peacefully.
My name is *** and I demand that my name gets remove from this complaint immediately base on the following:
I am not an officer of this Company ( Intercontinental Contracting and Engineering Corp. ) I've never entered into any agreement with this Individual; I don't know who *** is or which business she has with this company.
Please remove my name immediately from this case
